Question 8

what does "above high normal" mean on a blood test?

Accepted Answer

Numbers are numbers: Numbers are just numbers, so the significance of them must be looked at in the context of a patient&#x27;s real-life situation. From a purely numbers point of view, &quot;above high normal&quot; usually means that only ~3% of the NORMAL people in the community get that test result, and the other 97% of the NORMAL people in the community would get a lower result. Some people with a &quot;mildly high&quot; are not normal.

Nothing specific: By itself atypical lymph cells just suggest a recent or current viral infection. It may show up on random tests of healthy people. In the absence of information that would suggest otherwise it is just a variant of normal.

Question 10

what does having high phosurus serum in the blood mean?

Accepted Answer

Depending on level: Phosphorus is actually a very important mineral needed to make energy your body can use, but too high/low can cause trouble. Slightly high level may just be lab error. High dietary intake rarely cause high level if you don't have illness such as kidney disease. Renal failure is a common cause of high phosphorus, often needing regular use of phosphate binder medicine. Check with your doc. Good luck.
